COOL BEANS: Carson started a new blolog. It seems he’s bored at work.
Also since everyone is gone, I’ve had a nice break for a while, Carson’s starting a rivalblog, and I’m not in school for 4 months, I’ll be starting my Double True Revival soon.

When something formerly enjoyable has become a chore, it’s time to call it quits. I’ve had good memories here, but I simply don’t see a good future. My original intention at Double True was to bring an intellectual side to musical appreciation, and I hope I did so. Previously, writing would be a tool to expanding my mind, particularly in a musical sense. But lately, it has felt like I have not been giving nor gaining anything. I think it’s best for me to move on from this seemingly purposeless facade.
To the Readers: For most of you, this is probably a relief, as you are likely weary of my continual metal posts. But to the crazy people who actually enjoy reading them, I have one final gift for you:

How about a quick story to start things off? There once was a man without a means to express his love and passion for music. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came upon him, and he became the vocalist of a largely respected, successful band. Through his passion and dedication, he earned the fondest respect of both critics and fans, being commonly named one of the greatest singers of our time. He had what many have struggled their whole lives for without any success. But one day, a couple planes knocked down a couple buildings and this man, who had it all, gave up everything he had to help save the world, becoming a police officer. It is to him whom I award the highest honor that can be bestowed upon any individual: Artist of the Week!

I hope everyone is having a very happy and relaxing holiday right now. School’s already been over for a week but I still feel like I’m just recovering…
I will be exiled to work in a cold northern camp next month. Not sure how that’s going to be, but I’m quite glad I won’t be having any more university for another 4 months.
Hopefully next week I’ll feel up for some writing. Till then, what better way to celebrate the holidays than with a Mario medley? It’s played by none other than the legendary composer himself, Koji Kondo.
There are tunes from NSMB, Super Mario Galaxy, Yoshi’s Island, SMB3 and of course the original Super Mario Bros.

Germany’s power metal pioneers, Helloween, have existed for a whole 25 years, despite the numerous lineup changes. Though Unarmed – Best of 25th Anniversary was released in the Asia region on Dec 23, the rest of the world can expect it on Jan 29. As a celebration of their lengthy existence, the band decided to release a sort of thank you album for the fans. However, if you are a fan, do not expect to feel thanked. The album barely qualifies as a metal album, if at all. The deviation from the band’s standard style will be welcomed warmly by few, but scorned with contempt by many more.
Nice...

Green Day: Rock Band
No one can say they’re surprised, only saddened. When it came to the question of Rock Band or Guitar Hero, I’ve always favored the former. In my opinion, Guitar Hero has tracks that sell, as opposed to Rock Band which has tracks that play well. Although, things are different now; Rock Band has changed. Harmonix used to be a company that makes money off of good games; it seems they’re becoming a company that makes money.
